Virus resistance in transgenic sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas L. (Lam)] expressing the coat protein gene of sweet potato feathery mottle virus
2001-10-01
Abstract excerpt
One of the most-serious diseases of sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam] is russet crack disease caused by sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV). We constructed an expression vector carrying the coat protein (CP) and hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) genes driven by cauliflower mosaic virus 35 S promoters. Accordingly, we introduced the expression vector into sweet potato variety Chikei 682-11 by the ele...
